In loving memory of our father, Philip Anthony Watts, who passed away on January 25th,2023. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 1st, 1935. He was the devoted husband of Janice Marie Watts and loving father of Julie Rasmussen, Trina Watts, Angela Prado, 11 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
One of the kindest souls on this planet, our father was a gentle, giving man who worked tirelessly to ensure that his family had everything they needed. He faced every challenge in life with admirable strength and courage. He served in both the Army and Marines for a total of 10 years.
Early in life, our father learned the importance of hard work and he instilled that same work ethic in us. He was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or just a shoulder to cry on. Our dad loved to tell us stories of his life and never did he tell the same story twice. He loved to draw and he loved his Green Bay Packers. He was always so encouraging and always made us feel important. He was a man of strong faith, and he taught us the importance of family, hard work and doing what is right.
Our father was a true role model who we will always look up to. The funeral service will be held at Live Oak Memorial Park on February 23, 2023, at 12:30pm.
Daddy, you are now at peace, but you will live on forever in our hearts. We love you so much. Rest in peace.
